...optimism, this classic takes place in a Russian flophouse at the turn of the century. Gorky's denizens all preserve their unmistakable personalities amidst the squalor of their hopeless everyday routine. Max Montel's gentle directing approach should be well-suited for a "Russian-human-condition" show; the ensemble cast will lighten your hearts as they depress...

Billy Dee Williams is great as the smooth-voiced Lester, owner of Leon's favorite hangout, the Straight Up Lounge, and occasional narrator of Leon's story. Tiffany Thiessen turns up the heat...
...much of a hand did you have in casting? TM: Also a lot. They gave me a lot of rope to hang myself, I don't know why. But I think it was because I created the character with Andrew and Dennis, so I had a good understanding of what I wanted. So I hired a director, and it was my idea to cast Billy Dee Williams.
